Irrawady River, Yangon : Sunset Cruise

The Irrawaddy River or Ayeyarwady River, also spelt Ayeyarwaddy) is a river that flows from north to south through Myanmar. It is the country's largest river and most important commercial waterway. Originating from the confluence of the N'mai and Mali rivers, it flows relatively straight North-South before emptying through the Irrawaddy Delta into the Andaman Sea. Its drainage area of about 413,000 km² covers a large part of Burma.

This 'sunset cruise' was included in our 'Golf Package to Yangon'. There was another Malaysian couple with us (just the 4 of us). Took a round trip to the river mouth and back; all in all it took 1 hour. Our arrival back at the jetty; coincides with the sun setting down !!!
